Spikes and violins

Last week I felt like spoiling myself and ordered a new haul from Topshop and everything5pounds.com. It included ten pairs of new shoes <3!!! I do feel a bit guilty about ordering from a company so cheap, I hope the labour conditions in the factory aren't too bad...

The beanie and earrings (both in my favorite color!) sweater and shoes are all new. I dyed the tights myself.

I can't actually play the violin, but I would like to... especially since watching Treme.

The sweater reads DOPE, but I didn't get a good picture of the text...

Single life

So it's been a while since my last post... I broke up with my boyfriend and I was too busy celebrating single life while secretly being heartbroken. This actually resulted in some nice outgoing outfits, but I lost my camera charger so I couldn't take any pictures :(

So here's an outfit I wore back in 2012 instead!

My break-up haul just came in, so I'm gonna unpack it and after that I'm getting a new charger in my new heels ^^

Phixi

We'd like to introduce a new category, the webshop review. I’d like to show you one of my precious spots on the World Wide Web: Phixi.nl. Phixi is a vintage-orientated webshop were they also sell customized items, lovely satchels and grandma’s jewelry. Based in Rotterdam, it’s a fairly young webshop. 

‘We carefully handpick all of our items to make sure that the quality, materials and details are in great condition. Every piece is truly unique and has its own story. Whether you like the edgy Madonna look, or the beautiful and classy style of Audrey Hepburn, we promise you won't be disappointed!’ – Phixi.nl

My Phixi repetoir now includes a woolly sweater with golden studs, a leaf pattern top, an oversized demim shirt, a leather mini skirt, a dark blue, velvet blazer with military details (which Dorus picked out for me!) and a small cross pendle. With vintage colthing, especially when bought online, you never now if the piece you just bought really fits you. So I have to admit that the denim shirt is a tad to oversized for my liking, but I just love the decoration on the neckline. Besides, there’s nothing that a bit of tailoring can’t fix.

So, if you have a creaving for vintage pieces in your garderobe and there isn’t a vintage shop in sight, this is the place to be. Have I mentioned yet that the orderd clothing arrives in two workdays, packed in crispy wrapping paper complete with cute labels? Almost like receiving a present from yourself!

Fallout

I've got a thing for films, books, games, series, anything with a postapocalyptic setting. The mix of long-lost technology with a hard, wild-west lifestyle. Tried to express it in an outfit today :)

... And off course this calls for some lovely nuclear wasteland tunes ;)

Debut

It was about time that I make my debut here on Experimental//Noise. If you got bored already with Raveliens posts and outfits, you'll be happy to hear that I will throw in some effort as well. So, to make it up with you all, I'll wil post an outfit, jeej! As you might have read, we both no longer live with our parents. Ravelien has left the nest slightly longer than I have, so my choice of clothing isn't as limited when I'm visiting my folks. Actually, I find it kind of challenging.
